Events – Fests

Fests and religious anniversaries have their own “colour” at Folegandros. If you happen to be on the island make sure not to miss such events or fairs.

8/4/18 Holy Easter (orthodox)


On Easter day a procession of the icon of the Panaghia (Virgin Mary) takes place  around the houses of Hora. The next day the icon is brought to every house in Ano Meria and the day after, departing from Hora and followed by a large number of people, it passes from Petousis to Livadi, and finally Karavostasis, where they all get onboard vessels for a short trip, and back to the houses. Plenty of savoury and sweet treats, as well as drinks are offered by the inhabitants of every house that opens its doors to the miraculous icon of the Panaghia. You don’t need to know the owners to step inside! They will welcome you anyway!
